Show Notes: 7 Tips to Become a Better Speaker #7 - Record Everything Any time you get the opportunity to speak, especially early in your career as a speaker, record it. Preferably a video recording. But at minimum, get an audio recording. Why? Because nothing will help you improve as a speaker than seeing and hearing yourself speak. PERIOD. Here are two quick thoughts... First, be prepared because watching yourself present can be brutal, especially early on. So give yourself some grace and realize your speaking is a work in progress. And most importantly, don't give up. Everything worth doing is worth doing poorly at first. Second, don't make recording complicated or distracting. Just set up your smartphone on a table or tripod and hit record. Or have someone else take care of the recording for you. Bottom line, if you make things too complicated, you won't do it. And if it's too distracting, you won't be focused on your presentation. I hope these 7 simple tips for becoming a better speaker have been helpful.

Show Notes: 7 Tips to Become a Better Speaker #6 - Look People in the Eye Why Is This Important? It helps you make personal connections with audience members. In fact, it's probably the simplest thing you can do to enhance the impact of your presentation and persuade audience members to your point of view. Why Is This Challenging? Looking into another person's eyes, especially when you're on stage talking to a group of people, just feels awkward. And if you're nervous, it feels even more awkward. How to Improve Your Eye Contact? Remember that you are speaking to individuals and not just a group. Find audience members who are engaged and are already looking at you. Sustain eye contact with each individual long enough to make a connection, then move on. Three to five seconds is usually a good guideline. Avoid looking at people who you can tell feel awkward with eye contact. That will feel more like a stare-down than eye contact. Be prepared. It's practically impossible to make eye contact when you're in your head trying to remember your presentation.

This week, I have been giving you some tips to become better at giving presentations or, it can be called, “public speaking.” This is an art form that is learned. Very few people are “born” public speakers. Even those who are naturally comfortable in a public setting can learn a thing or two to become better.Monday, I emphasized on “Knowing your topic.” On Tuesday, I discussed the need to “Know Your Audience.” On Wednesday, I talked about a very effective technique that I have used (and taught others to use) in order to control our nerves – avoid making eye contact! For Thursday, we talked about the need to PRACTICE!

Get to know your audience before the presentation. Whenever possible, try to establish a rapport with them before the presentation begins. Actually talk with them! If in person, show up early. During the breaks, meet people and talk with them. Ask questions about what they do, why they are there and what they are hoping to receive from the event.For more detail on this topic, please read the entire post on my website at: http://rthibodeau.com/2019/04/5-tips-to-better-presentations-online-or-public-speaking-pt-2-know-your-audience/

You cannot speak or teach others something you are not knowledgeable about yourself. If you attempt to do so, it will not take somebody who is more of an expert than you to call your bluff. For example, if I say I am an expert on everything dealing with Disney World, and I never mention Mickey Mouse at all – that would raise suspicion that I may not know as much as I’m trying to convince you of. So, “Know your topic” before you even attempt to speak.For more detail on this topic, please read the entire post on my website at:http://rthibodeau.com/2019/03/5-tips-to-better-presentations-online-or-public-speaking-pt-1/
